78 Planning the Nortel WLAN 2300 System

RF Planning Overview

The WLAN Management Software planning tools calculate the Nortel equipment you need, how to configure it, and
where to install it, all based on the information you provide about your wireless coverage needs.
You can display projected coverage, and even experiment with network changes. You also can optimize the plan based
on RF measurements from the live network.
In addition, when you add the geographical information about your network to WLAN Management Software, you can
use WLAN Management Software to visually find network clients or rogue devices.

Accessing the RF Planning Tools
